Problems and prospects of the application of artificial intelligence in the combat of criminal offenses by The Security Service of Ukraine at critical infrastructure facilities

The article is devoted to the study of the problems and prospects of the use of artificial intelligence in countering criminal offenses by the Security Service of Ukraine at critical infrastructure facilities. The peculiarities of state policy, the current state of legal regulation of the use of innovative technology in Ukraine are considered, and problematic issues of the use of artificial intelligence in the course of the tasks of prevention, detection, termination, and pre­trial investigation of criminal proceedings in the relevant field are analyzed. The main areas of application of artificial intelligence in combating criminal offenses at critical infrastructure facilities have been worked out, such as: intelligent detection of threats in the process of countermeasures; automation of algorithms for combating illegal encroachments; information and analytical support. The key methods and technologies of artificial intelligence that can be used in the process of combating criminal offenses at critical infrastructure facilities by the Security Service of Ukraine are highlighted, in particular: deep learning, machine learning, natural language processing and computer vision. The potential risks and problematic issues of introducing artificial intelligence into the automated process of combating criminal offenses at critical infrastructure facilities are outlined. Attention is drawn to compliance with the principles of transparency and accountability of activity, legality, responsibility for erroneous decisions, ensuring human rights and freedoms, prevention of risks of discrimination, excessive reliance on artificial intelligence. The need to improve the legal basis for the use of artificial intelligence in combating criminal offenses at critical infrastructure facilities, as well as introducing changes and additions to the legislation of Ukraine concerning the criminal-procedural activity of the Security Service of Ukraine, was noted. The introduction of artificial intelligence technologies into the system of combating criminal offenses at critical infrastructure facilities is identified as a promising direction for further research.
